Dinky Toys 505 1st type Foden Chain Wagon Very Near Mint/Boxed

This model was only ever produced for 9 months from January 1952 & hence has held the place as one of the rarest Dinky commercials produced. A real iconic Dinky!

This 1st type 505 is the green version with with lighter green cab flash. Large painted tow hook, the tyres are all in good order, light green ridged hubs, very slight bend to a rear chain posts & all have correct dimpled bosses. Tank slots to casting which is again correct for this version, nice clean original chain, '20' transfer, bright silver trim & clean axles with minor tarnishing which are all correctly secured with clips. Slight signs of wear & small areas of age related paint blemishing to flatbed. Over all a very good example of this difficult model to find.

The correctly 'G' stamped blue box with wrap round orange/white label is very presentable, clear orange/white wrap around label, smooth feel, & most certainly no repairs/splits or punctures. Some light age/shelf wear to note
